Oswego Elks #271 OCO

Oswego Elks Lodge #271 recently presented a donation of $1700.00 to Oswego County Opportunities in support of the agency’s Services to Aid Families Program (SAF). Oswego Elks were happy to be able to help an organization that helps members of the Oswego community and we appreciate the work that SAF does to offer shelter, support, and counseling to those that need it.  SAF, Oswego County’s domestic violence and rape crisis program, provided support and advocacy for 600 victims and survivors in 2017.
SAF extend their sincere gratitude to the Oswego Elks Lodge #271 for their thoughtfulness.  These funds will allow SAF to continue to meet the needs of victims and survivors. There are many times that there is a need for funds that other resources do not support.
OCO is a private, non-profit agency.  OCO’s many programs touch the lives of approximately 20,000 Oswego County residents each year. One of Oswego County’s largest employers, OCO employs nearly 600 people and boasts a volunteer force of 1200. OCO strives to improve the quality of life in Oswego County by helping people, supporting communities and changing lives. This donation will help support SAF’s efforts to help victims of domestic abuse and educate community members of the issue. For information on the SAF Program visit OCO’s website at www.oco.org or call the Crisis Hotline at 315-342-1600.
